Things to improve

Hello! I used this app for a short time to be able to communicate with my little sister. I do have to say it is a very safe app. But I believe there can be some improvements. I had to sign in every time I had to use the app and it made it really inconvenient as my sisters calls could not go though endless I was signed into the app. I would have no clue she was calling me as no notifications would pop up even though they were turned on. The signing in process also took a long time as a verification code would pop in at the five minute mark to enter. The phone calls themselves were very glitchy and low quality. No matter the service the screen would get stuck. On my end the buttons during the call always remained in the middle of the screen during face time which was very frustrating.
I hope this feedback helps.

Garbage

ITS SO BADDDDD it keeps loging me out and it’s making me really mad

Bad ai

I was in a call with my gf and one of her friends wanted to see me and when she showed her head the ai flagged it has nudity for no reason even tho we weren’t doing anything bad just calling because long distance relationships is hard enough as it is and now I can’t FaceTime her

Flagging every single photo

Any photo showing any skin is being flagged. It’s summertime and kids are wearing shorts and tanks and this app is flagging all of those photos even though they are innocent.

No Trust

Gabb’s tech support is a worthless waste of time.
